Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have advised JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”) and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“MLPFS”, which term shall include, in each case, MLPFS’s designated affiliate for any purpose hereunder and, together with JPMCB and Bank of America, the “Commitment Parties”, “we” or “us”) that you (the “Borrower”) intend to acquire (the “Acquisition”), directly or indirectly, the entity identified to us by you as “Chicago” (the “Acquired Company”).  You have further advised us that, in connection with the foregoing, you and the newly formed entities referred to in the Transaction Description (as defined below) intend to consummate the other Transactions described in the Transaction Description attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Transaction Description”), including the provision to you of the Bridge Facility (as defined below), after which the Acquired Company will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Borrower.  In connection with the foregoing, you have also separately engaged us to (i) arrange a term A facility of $1.2 billion which may be upsized to up to $1.8 billion if the facility is oversubscribed on the terms separately agreed between you and us (the “Term Facility”, and the date upon which the credit documentation in respect of such Term Facility has been entered into and has become effective, the “Term Facility Effective Date”) and (ii) seek required lender consents to an amendment (the “Amendment”, and the effective date of such Amendment, the “Amendment Effective Date”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of November 27, 2013, among you, the guarantors from time to time party thereto, Bank of America, as administrative agent and the lenders, swing line lenders and L/C issuers from time to time party thereto (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and as amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) on the terms specified in the Summary of Amendment Terms (as defined below).
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Transaction Description, the Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Summary of Bridge Terms”), and the Summary of Amendment Terms attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Summary of Amendment Terms”); this commitment letter together with Exhibits A, B, C and D hereto, collectively, the “Commitment Letter”).  The Borrower, the Acquired Company and their

respective subsidiaries from and after the Acquisition Closing Date, are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Companies”.  The Acquired Company and its subsidiaries are referred to herein as the “Acquired Companies”.
1.Commitments. In connection with the foregoing, (a)(i) each of JPMCB and Bank of America is pleased to advise you of its several commitment to provide (x) 60% and 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A-1 of the Bridge Facility respectively and (y) 60% and 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A-2 of the Bridge Facility respectively and (ii) each of Bank of America and JPMCB is pleased to advise you of its several commitment to provide 60% and 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche B of the Bridge Facility respectively (in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in such capacity, the “Initial Lenders”), (b)(i) JPMCB is pleased to advise you of its willingness, and you hereby engage JPMCB, to act as the sole and exclusive administrative agent and collateral agent with respect to Tranche A of the Bridge Facility (in such capacity, the “Tranche A Administrative Agent”) and (ii) Bank of America is pleased to advise you of its willingness, and you hereby engage Bank of America, to act as the sole and exclusive administrative agent and collateral agent with respect to Tranche B of the Bridge Facility (in such capacity, the “Tranche B Administrative Agent” and, together with the Tranche A Administrative Agent, the “Administrative Agents”), all upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter, (c)(i) Bank of America is pleased to advise you of its willingness, and you hereby engage Bank of America, to act as sole syndication agent for Tranche A of the Bridge Facility and (ii) JPMCB is pleased to advise you of its willingness, and you hereby engage JPMCB, to act as sole syndication agent for Tranche B of the Bridge Facility and (d) each of JPMCB and MLPFS is also pleased to advise you of its willingness, and you hereby engage JPMCB and MLPFS, to arrange and act as the joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners (in such capacity, the “Lead Arrangers”) for the Bridge Facility, and in connection therewith to form a syndicate of lenders for the Bridge Facility in accordance with Section 2 of this Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Lenders”), including JPMCB and Bank of America. It is understood and agreed that (x)(i) JPMCB will have “lead left” placement on all marketing materials relating to Tranche A of the Bridge Facility and (ii) MLPFS will have “lead left” placement on all marketing materials relating to Tranche B of the Bridge Facility and (y) no additional agents, co-agents or arrangers will be appointed and no other titles will be awarded with respect to the Bridge Facility without our and your mutual consent. You agree that JPMCB may perform its responsibilities hereunder through its affiliate, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC.
The commitments of the Initial Lenders in respect of the Bridge Facility and the undertaking of the Lead Arrangers to provide the services described herein are subject only to the satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 below.
2.    Syndication. The Lead Arrangers (x)(i) intend to commence syndication of Tranche A-1 of the Bridge Facility and (ii)  upon a determination by the Lead Arrangers in consultation with you that the Term Facility Effective Date is not likely to occur on or prior to the Initial Funding Date, the Lead Arrangers intend to commence syndication of Tranche A-2 of the Bridge Facility and (y) upon a determination by the Lead Arrangers in consultation with you that the Amendment Effective Date is not likely to occur on or prior to the Initial Funding Date (which determination shall be made on the 30th day following the date of this Commitment Letter (or such earlier or later date as may be agreed by the Lead Arrangers and you)), intend to commence syndication of Tranche B of the Bridge Facility, in each case, promptly after your acceptance of the terms of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (as hereinafter defined) and, if applicable, after the relevant determination.  Each Initial Lender’s commitment hereunder shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar on a pro rata basis as and when commitments for the Bridge Facility are received from Permitted Assignees (as defined below), to the extent that each such Permitted Assignee becomes party to the Credit Documentation as a “Lender” (including, pursuant to an assignment and 


-2-





assumption agreement executed pursuant to the Credit Documentation) or otherwise party to this Commitment Letter pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers and you (collectively, “Joinder Documentation”).
Until the earlier of (i) the date upon which a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) is achieved and (ii) the 60th day following the Initial Funding Date (the “Syndication Date”), you agree, upon the request of the Lead Arrangers to assist, and to use your commercially reasonable efforts prior to the Acquisition Closing Date to cause the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries to assist to the extent permitted by the Acquisition Agreement, the Lead Arrangers in achieving a syndication of the Bridge Facility that is reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers and you. Such assistance shall include (a) your assisting (and your using commercially reasonable efforts prior to the Acquisition Closing Date to cause the Acquired Company to assist to the extent permitted by the Acquisition Agreement) in the preparation of a customary confidential information memorandum and customary lender presentation with respect to the Bridge Facility and other customary marketing materials reasonably requested by the Lead Arrangers to be used in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility (collectively, the “Information Materials”), subject in all respects to the limitations on your rights to request such information concerning the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, (b) your using your commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Lead Arrangers such that their syndication efforts benefit from your existing banking relationships and the existing banking relationships of the Acquired Company, (c) your agreeing that until the Syndication Date there shall be no competing offering, placement or arrangement of any syndicated bank financing or underwritten or privately placed debt securities by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s subsidiaries, in each case that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely impair the primary syndication of the Bridge Facility other than  (i) the Amendment, or any refinancing or replacement of the facilities under the Existing Credit Agreement with similar types of facilities in an aggregate amount not to exceed the facilities being refinanced or replaced, (ii) the New Notes, (iii) the New Term Loans, (iv) any borrowing under the Existing Credit Agreement, (v) borrowings under, or an increase or amendment to the Borrower’s or its subsidiaries available commitments under their respective account receivable securitization or other similar financing facilities to the extent permitted under the Existing Credit Agreement (giving effect to the Amendment) that is either in the ordinary course of business, or represents an increase to the available commitments thereunder as a result of refinancing borrowing capacity previously provided under the Acquired Company’s receivables purchase facilities, (vi) borrowings under, or an increase or amendment to credit facilities of any foreign subsidiary of the Borrower or such subsidiary’s domestic subsidiaries to the extent permitted under the Existing Credit Agreement (giving effect to the Amendment) in the ordinary course of business, and (vii) any other financing agreed by the Lead Arrangers which will not be deemed to materially impair the primary syndication of the Bridge Facility), (d) your making your senior management and advisors available, and upon the reasonable request of the Lead Arrangers, using your commercially reasonable efforts prior to the Acquisition Closing Date to make senior management and advisors of the Acquired Company available (to the extent permitted by the Acquisition Agreement), from time to time to attend and make presentations regarding the business of the Borrower, the Acquired Company and their respective subsidiaries, as appropriate, at one meeting of, or conference call with prospective Lenders (or such additional meetings or conference calls as reasonably requested by the Lead Arrangers) in all cases at times and locations to be mutually agreed.  Without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth above, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Fee Letter, the Commitment Parties acknowledge and agree that neither the commencement nor the completion of the syndication of the Bridge Facility (including a Successful Syndication), nor any other provision of this paragraph shall constitute a condition precedent to the availability and initial funding of the Bridge Facility on the Initial Funding Date and (e) if, after completing syndication of the New Term A Facility in 


-3-





accordance with the last paragraph of this Section 2, the Lead Arrangers have not received commitment advices from prospective lenders in respect of the New Term A Facility representing an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the then-outstanding commitments with respect to Tranche A of the Bridge Facility and, if the Amendment Effective Date has not occurred on or before the 30th day following the date of this Commitment Letter (or such other period as may be agreed by the Bank Joint Lead Arrangers and the Borrower), Tranche B of the Bridge Facility (or, if the loans under the Bridge Facility have been made, an aggregate amount sufficient to repay all of the principal and other amounts outstanding under the Bridge Facility) (such shortfall, the “Shortfall Amount”), (i) the Lead Arrangers and the Borrower will promptly identify and in good faith agree in writing (which may be via electronic mail) upon one or more alternative financings to the Bridge Facility to pursue in respect of the Shortfall Amount and (ii) at the reasonable request of the Lead Arrangers in respect of any such agreed upon alternative financing, the Borrower agrees to (A) engage one or more investment banks reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers to arrange or place such alternative financing (it being understood and agreed that the investment banks engaged by the Borrower on or about the date hereof are reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers) (the “Investment Banks”), (B) promptly (1) deliver to the Investment Banks a customary offering memorandum, private placement memorandum or confidential information memorandum (collectively “Information Memorandum”), as applicable, for use in syndication of such alternative financing (together with a customary authorization letter to be included in such Information Memorandum), and, if customary for such alternative financing, prepare an additional version of such Information Memorandum that is suitable for distribution to Public Lenders, and other customary marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndication of such alternative financing and (2) if applicable to such alternative financing, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain customary credit ratings required in respect of such alternative financing (the “Ratings”) and (C) provide the Investment Banks with a customary marketing period (subject to customary black-out periods) prior to the Initial Funding Date as requested by the Investment Banks in respect of such alternative financing after receipt of the applicable Information Memorandum and, if applicable to such alternative financing, the applicable Ratings, it being understood and agreed that the requisite marketing period for the New Notes will be 30 business days (subject to customary black-out periods). 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter, (A) you will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any (x) attorney-client privilege, (y) law, rule or regulation or (z) any confidentiality obligation binding on you, the Acquired Company and/or any of your or their respective affiliates, in each case, entered into prior to the date hereof (and in the case of such confidentiality obligation, not entered into in contemplation of the information requirements hereunder), in which case you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to have any such confidentiality obligation waived, and otherwise in all instances, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation, promptly notify us that information, not otherwise subject to attorney-client privilege, is being withheld pursuant to this sentence; and (B) the financial statements required by clause (iv) of Exhibit D hereto are the only financial statements that will be required in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility.
It is understood and agreed that the Lead Arrangers will manage and control all aspects of the syndication of the Bridge Facility in consultation with you, including decisions as to the selection of prospective Lenders and any titles offered to proposed Lenders, when commitments will be accepted and the final allocations of the commitments among the Lenders; provided that only potential Lenders that (i) on or before the 45th day following the date hereof, are approved by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); it being understood and agreed that existing lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement are deemed to be approved by the Borrower or (ii) after the 45th day following the date hereof, are identified by the Lead Arrangers in consultation with you, will be approached and 


-4-





permitted to participate in the syndication (clauses (i) and (ii), the “Permitted Assignees”).  It is understood that no Lender participating in the Bridge Facility will receive compensation from you in order to obtain its commitment, except on the terms contained herein and in the Summary of Terms.  It is also understood and agreed that the amount and distribution of the fees among the Lenders will be at the discretion of the Lead Arrangers in consultation with you, subject to the terms and provisions of the Fee Letter.
3.    Information Requirements. You hereby represent that (to your knowledge with respect to the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries) (a) all written information concerning you and your subsidiaries and the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries, other than Projections (as defined below) and other forward-looking information and information of a general economic or industry-specific nature, if any, which has been or will be made available to the Lead Arrangers or any of the Lenders by you or any of your representatives (or on your or their behalf) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Information”), when taken as a whole, does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, when taken as a whole, not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto from time to time), and (b) all financial projections concerning the Borrower, the Acquired Company and their respective subsidiaries that have been or will be made available to the Lead Arrangers by you or on behalf of you or any of your representatives in connection with the Transactions (the “Projections”) have been or will be prepared in good faith and have been or will be based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time made (it being understood that Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies many of which are beyond your control, and no assurance can be given that the Projections will be realized, and that actual results may differ from projected results and that such differences may be material). You agree that if, at any time from the date hereof until the later of the Syndication Date and the Initial Funding Date, you become aware that any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information or the Projections were being furnished, and such representation were being made, at such time, you will (or, prior to the Initial Funding Date with respect to Information and Projections concerning the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries, you will, subject to the limitations on your rights as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, use commercially reasonable efforts to) furnish us with supplements to the Information and the Projections, in each case from time to time, so that the representation in the preceding sentence remains correct in all material respects; provided that such supplementation shall cure any breach of such representation. In accepting this commitment and in arranging and syndicating the Bridge Facility, the Lead Arrangers are and will be using and relying on the Information and the Projections without independent verification thereof.  Without limiting your obligations under this paragraph, it is understood that the Initial Lenders’ commitment with respect to the Bridge Facility hereunder is not conditioned upon the accuracy of, or your compliance with, the representations, warranties and covenants in this paragraph.
You acknowledge that the Commitment Parties on your behalf will make available Information Materials to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting the Information Materials on SyndTrak, IntraLinks, DebtDomain or another similar electronic system.  In addition, in connection with any syndication of the Bridge Facility, unless the parties hereto otherwise agree in writing, you shall be under no obligation to  provide Information Materials suitable for distribution to any prospective Lender (each, a “Public Lender”) that has personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information (within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws, “MNPI”) with respect to the Borrower, the Acquired Company, their respective affiliates or any other entity, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing.  Prior to distribution of Information Materials to prospective Lenders, you shall provide us with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination thereof, which dissemination shall be subject to 


-5-





customary confidentiality undertakings satisfactory to you (it being understood and agreed that customary procedures employed by us for providing prospective Lenders access via Syndtrak or Intralinks (or another similar electronic system) to information and other materials related to the Bridge Facility and the confidentiality terms to be accepted by prospective Lenders in connection therewith are reasonably satisfactory to you for such purpose).
4.    Fees, Reimbursements and Indemnities. 
(a)    You agree to pay the fees set forth in the separate fee letter addressed to you dated the date hereof from the Commitment Parties (the “Fee Letter”).  You further agree to reimburse the Initial Lenders and the Lead Arrangers from time to time promptly after demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable due diligence expenses and CUSIP fees for registration with the Standard & Poor’s CUSIP Service Bureau) incurred in connection with the Bridge Facility, the syndication thereof, the preparation of the definitive documentation therefor and the other transactions contemplated hereby (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, whether or not the Initial Funding Date occurs, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one primary counsel to the Commitment Parties (taken together) and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) incurred in connection with the Bridge Facility, the syndication thereof and the preparation of the Credit Documentation.  You acknowledge that we may receive a benefit, including without limitation, a discount, credit or other accommodation, from any of such counsel based on the fees such counsel may receive on account of their relationship with us including, without limitation, fees paid pursuant hereto.
(b)    You agree to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Commitment Parties and each of their affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same are incurred for) any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (in the case of fees, disbursements and charges of counsel, limited to the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all Indemnified Parties, taken together (and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction and, solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, of one additional counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, one additional local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) for all affected Indemnified Parties taken together)) that may be incurred by or awarded against any Indemnified Party within 10 business days following written demand therefor setting forth in reasonable detail a description of such claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (a) any matters contemplated by this Commitment Letter or (b) the Bridge Facility or any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds thereof, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) such Indemnified Party’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, (y) the material breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under this Commitment Letter or (z) disputes solely among Indemnified Parties not involving any act or omission of you or your subsidiaries (other than any Proceeding (as defined below) against any Commitment Party solely in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an Administrative Agent or Lead Arranger or similar role in connection with the Bridge Facility).  In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”) to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such Proceeding is brought by you, your equity holders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.  It is agreed that no party hereto shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in 


-6-





contract or tort or otherwise) to any other party or such party’s subsidiaries or affiliates or to its or their respective equity holders or creditors arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent of direct, as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive, damages determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such party’s material breach of this Commitment Letter, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; provided, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit your indemnification obligations to the extent set forth hereinabove to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such indemnified person is entitled to indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, no party hereto shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems, unless such damages are found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such party’s material breach of this Commitment Letter, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. You shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to any admission of fault.  You will not be liable for any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding effected without your prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with your written consent or if there is a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in any such Proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all out-of-pocket expenses, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented legal or other out-of-pocket expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with and to the extent provided in the other provisions herein.
5.    Conditions to Financing. Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the definitive documentation with respect to the Bridge Facility (the “Credit Documentation”) or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, the commitments of the Initial Lenders in respect of the Bridge Facility and the undertaking of the Lead Arrangers to provide the services described herein are subject only to the satisfaction of each of the conditions expressly set forth in Exhibit D hereto under the heading “Conditions Precedent to Each Funding Date” (the “Funding Conditions”), it being understood that there are no conditions (implied or otherwise) to the commitments hereunder (including compliance with the terms of the Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Credit Documentation) other than the Funding Conditions (and upon satisfaction or waiver of the Funding Conditions, the initial funding under the Bridge Facility shall occur).  
Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Credit Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary:  (a) the only conditions (express or implied) to the availability and funding of the Bridge Facility on each Funding Date are the Funding Conditions, (b) the only representations the accuracy of which shall be a condition to the availability of the Bridge Facility on each Funding Date shall be (i) the representations made by the Acquired Company with respect to the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries in the Acquisition Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries has the right (taking into account any applicable cure provisions) to terminate its obligations under the Acquisition Agreement, or to decline to consummate the Acquisition pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, as a result of a breach of such representations in the 


-7-





Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement Representations”) and (ii) the Specified Representations (as hereinafter defined) and (c) the terms of the Credit Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability or funding of the Bridge Facility on each Funding Date if the Funding Conditions are satisfied (or waived by the Commitment Parties).  For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties in the Credit Documentation relating to (1) each Loan Party’s existence, qualification and power on substantially the same terms as are set forth in Section 6.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement; (2) each Loan Party’s authorization and non-contravention on substantially the same terms as are set forth in Section 6.02(a) and Section 6.02(c) of the Existing Credit Agreement; (3) each Loan Party’s non-contravention with material debt instruments in excess of the Threshold Amount (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement (giving effect to the Amendment)), (4) due execution by, and enforceability of the Credit Documentation against, each Loan Party on substantially the same terms as are set forth in Section 6.04 of the Existing Credit Agreement; (5) Federal Reserve margin regulations and Investment Company Act Status on substantially the same terms as are set forth in Section 6.18 of the Existing Credit Agreement; (6) solvency on a consolidated basis as of the Initial Funding Date (after giving effect to the Acquisition) on substantially the same terms as are set forth in Section 6.14 of the Existing Credit Agreement; (7) the use of proceeds not violating OFAC and anti-corruption law on substantially the same terms as are set forth in Section 6.21 of the Existing Credit Agreement; (8) Patriot Act; and (9) and the creation, validity, priority and perfection of the security interests granted in the intended collateral on substantially the same terms as are set forth Section 6.19 of the Existing Credit Agreement (it being understood that to the extent any security interest (including the creation or perfection of any security interest) in the intended collateral (other than any collateral the security interest in which may be perfected by (x) the filing of a UCC financing statement or the filing of short-form security agreements with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office or (y) the delivery of certificates evidencing equity interests of the Guarantors that are issuers of certificated securities (as defined in the UCC)) is not provided on the Initial Funding Date after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so, the provision of such perfected security interest(s) shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Bridge Facility on the Initial Funding Date but shall be required to be delivered or perfected no later than ninety (90) days, or such longer period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agents, after the Initial Funding Date pursuant to arrangements to be mutually agreed). This paragraph shall be referred to herein as the “Limited Conditionality Provisions”.
6.    Confidentiality and Other Obligations. This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter and the contents hereof and thereof are confidential and, except (1) for disclosure hereof or thereof to your board of directors, officers, employees, accountants, attorneys, agents and other professional advisors retained by you in connection with the Bridge Facility, in each case, on a confidential basis, (2) for disclosure hereof or thereof (and, in the case of the Fee Letter, redacted in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers) to the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries and the officers, employees, accountants, attorneys and other professional advisors of the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries, in each case, on a confidential basis or (3) for disclosure hereof or thereof in any judicial or administrative proceeding, upon request or demand of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over you or as otherwise required by law, regulation or compulsory legal process (in which case you agree to inform us promptly thereof to the extent not prohibited by law, rule or regulation), may not be disclosed in whole or in part to any person or entity without our prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, it is understood and agreed that (i) you may disclose this Commitment Letter (including the Summary of Terms) but not the Fee Letter after your acceptance of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter, (A) in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable regulatory authorities and stock exchanges and (B) to rating agencies on a confidential basis; (ii) after your acceptance of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter, disclose the aggregate fees 


-8-





payable under the Fee Letter (but not the Fee Letter itself) in generic disclosure of aggregate sources and uses contained in any offering memorandum, prospectus or other marketing materials relating to the Bridge Facility; (iii) after your acceptance hereof, this Commitment Letter (but not the Fee Letter) to potential Lenders in coordination with us as contemplated by Section 2 above; (iv) the fee and other amounts herein and in the Fee Letter may be reflected in your financial statements as part of the aggregate expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and may otherwise be disclosed as part of projections, pro forma information and a generic disclosure of aggregate sources and uses; and (v) disclose the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or enforcement hereof and thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may make public announcements of the Transactions and disclose the existence of the commitments and undertakings made hereunder and the respective roles of the Lead Arrangers and the Initial Lenders in connection with the Transactions after your acceptance of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter; provided that  you agree to consult with the Lead Arrangers with respect to any portion of any announcement that names, or provide information that would readily permit identification of, any Lead Arranger or Initial Lender.  This paragraph shall terminate (as it relates to the Commitment Letter but not as it relates to the Fee Letter) on the twelve month anniversary of the date hereof.
The Commitment Parties shall use all confidential information provided to them by or on behalf of you hereunder (the “Confidential Information”) solely for the purpose of providing the services which are the subject of this Commitment Letter and otherwise in connection with the Transactions and shall treat confidentially all such information; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the Commitment Parties from disclosing Confidential Information (i) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal or administrative proceeding, or otherwise as required by applicable law or compulsory legal process (in which case the Commitment Parties agree to inform you promptly thereof to the extent not prohibited by law, rule or regulation), (ii) upon the request or demand of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Commitment Parties or any of their respective affiliates, (iii) to the extent that such information becomes publicly available other than by reason of disclosure in violation of this agreement by the Commitment Parties, (iv) to the Commitment Parties’ affiliates, employees, legal counsel, independent auditors and other experts or agents who need to know such information solely in connection with the Transactions and are informed of the confidential nature of such information; provided that such Commitment Party shall be responsible for such affiliates’, employees’, legal counsel, independent auditors’ and other experts’ or agents’ compliance with this paragraph, (v) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense in any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Bridge Facility or the enforcement of rights thereunder, (vi) to the extent that such information is received by the Commitment Parties from a third party that is not to the Commitment Parties’ knowledge subject to confidentiality obligations to you, (vii) to the extent that such information is independently developed by the Commitment Parties that is not subject to confidentiality obligations owing to you, the Acquired Company or any of your or their respective affiliates or related parties, or (viii) to potential Lenders, participants or assignees who agree to be bound by the terms of this paragraph (or language substantially similar to this paragraph or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to you and each Commitment Party, including as may be agreed in any confidential information memorandum or other marketing material). The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall terminate on the earlier of (x) the twelve month anniversary of the date hereof and (y) the execution of the Credit Documentation (in which case superseded by the confidentiality provision of the Credit Documentation). In addition, each Commitment Party may disclose the existence of the Bridge Facility to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Commitment Parties in connection with the administration and management of the Bridge Facility.

Consents: The consent of the Borrower will be required unless (i) an event of default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) the assignment is to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as such term shall be defined in the Credit Documentation); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the applicable Administrative Agent within five business days after having received notice thereof.

WAIVERS AND
		
	AMENDMENTS:
	Amendments and waivers of the provisions of the loan agreement and other definitive credit documentation will require the approval of Lenders holding Bridge Loans and commitments representing more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Bridge Loans and commitments under the Bridge Facility (the “Required Lenders”), except that (a) the consent of 




Exhibit B-8

Exhibit B-9
    








ADDENDUM I
PRICING, FEES AND EXPENSES
		
	INTEREST RATES:  
	At the Borrower’s option, any Bridge Loan that is made to it will bear interest at a rate equal to (i) LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin, or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate (to be defined as the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% and (c) a daily rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%) plus the Applicable Margin less 1.00%.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if LIBOR or the Alternate Base Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero for purposes of the Bridge Facility. The Borrower may select interest periods of one, two, three or six months for LIBOR loans or, upon consent of all of the Lenders under the Bridge Facility, such other period, subject to availability. Interest shall be payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly. During the continuance of any default under the Credit Documentation, the Applicable Margin on obligations owing under the Credit Documentation shall increase by 2% per annum (subject, in all cases other than a default in the payment of principal when due, to the request of the Required Lenders).


		
	LIBOR SUCCESSOR RATE:
	The Credit Documentation will contain customary language to permit the establishment of a successor rate to LIBOR in the event that the Administrative Agents, the Borrower or the Required Lenders have determined that LIBOR is no longer available.


UNDRAWN COMMITMENT
FEES AND APPLICABLE 
		
	MARGIN:
	The Borrower will pay (or to cause to be paid) to each Lender in respect of the Bridge Facility, for its own account, a fee with respect to the undrawn amount of the Convertible Debentures Commitment at the rate per annum (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year) (the “Commitment Fee Rate”) determined in accordance with the pricing grid below. Such undrawn commitment fee shall begin to accrue from and including the Initial Funding Date and be payable to each such Lender on the Convertible Debentures Termination Date.




The Applicable Margin for LIBOR loans and Alternate Base Rate loans and the Commitment Fee Rate shall be, at any time, the applicable rate per annum set forth in the applicable table below with respect to Tranche A of the Bridge Facility and Tranche B of the Bridge Facility opposite the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) as set forth in the most recent compliance certificate received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Documentation in respect of the first reporting period ending after the Initial Funding Date (the “Initial Compliance Certificate”); provided that, prior to the date of the Initial Compliance Certificate, the Applicable Margin and the Commitment Fee Rate shall be set at Level III.

The funding of the Bridge Facility will be subject to satisfaction of the following additional conditions precedent:
(i)    The definitive agreement with respect to the Acquisition, the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 28, 2018, among the Borrower, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and the Acquired Company (including all schedules and exhibits thereto, the “Acquisition Agreement”) shall not have been altered, amended or otherwise changed or supplemented or any provision waived or consented to in a manner that is materially adverse to the Commitment Parties without the prior written consent of the Lead Arrangers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); it being understood and agreed that (a) any decrease in the purchase price of less than 10% shall not be materially adverse to the interests of the Commitment Parties so long as the portion of such decrease relating to the cash portion of the purchase price (or all of such decrease if such decrease relates solely to the cash portion of the purchase price) is allocated to (x) on or before the 30th day following the date of the Commitment Letter, reduce Tranche A of the Bridge Facility and (y) after the 30th day following the date of the Commitment Letter, reduce each tranche of the Bridge Facility on a pro rata basis based on the amount of commitments in respect thereof outstanding thereunder, in each case, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, (b) any increase in the cash portion of the purchase price that is equal to or exceeds 10% of the purchase price shall be deemed materially adverse to the Commitment Parties, (c) any increase in the Borrower Stock Contribution of the consideration shall not be deemed materially adverse to the Commitment Parties, and (d) any amendment, modification, waiver or consent that results in a change to the definition of the term “Company Material Adverse Effect” (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof) shall be deemed to be materially adverse to the Commitment Parties).  The Acquisition shall have been, or shall substantially concurrently with the funding of the Bridge Facility be, consummated in all material respects in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, as such terms may be altered, amended or otherwise changed, supplemented, waived or consented to in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(ix)    To the extent reasonably requested by the Commitment Parties at least 10 business days in advance of the Initial Funding Date, the Loan Parties shall have provided the documentation and other information to the Administrative Agents that are required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act, at least three business days prior to the Initial Funding Date.

ANNEX I
FORM OF
SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE


[          ], 20__


This Solvency Certificate is delivered pursuant to Section [     ] of the Credit Agreement dated as of [          ], 20__, among [         ] (the “Credit Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
The undersigned hereby certifies, solely in his capacity as an officer of the Borrower and not in his individual capacity, as follows:
1.I am the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower.  I am familiar with the Transactions, and have reviewed the Credit Agreement, financial statements referred to in Section [  ] of the Credit Agreement and such documents and made such investigation as I have deemed relevant for the purposes of this Solvency Certificate.
2.As of the date hereof, immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, on and as of such date (i) the fair value of the assets of the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured in their ordinary course; (iii) the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured in their ordinary course; and (iv) the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Initial Funding Date.
3.As of the date hereof, immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, the Borrower does not intend to, and the Borrower does not believe that it or any of its subsidiaries will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature in the ordinary course of business, taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by it or any such subsidiary and the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debts or the debts of any such subsidiary.
This Solvency Certificate is being delivered by the undersigned officer only in his capacity as Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower and not individually and the undersigned shall have no personal liability to the Administrative Agents or the Lenders with respect thereto.
